I think that falls in my "lazy (or dumb)" category....I wasn't saying it 
didn't happen, but that there are people who don't actually apply their 
brain or attempt to understand that there are differences in the Muslim 
world that are as varied (if not more so) than the differences between, 
say, a Lutheran and Pat Robertson's particular brand of Christianity.  
(And yes, I do consider PR to be an "extremist").
